​Cutting down a tree, especially a large one, actually starts at the very top. You want to remove branches and limbs from as high up as possible and work your way down. Depending on the size, age, and health of the tree, you will likely want to leave the trunk intact and just cut off the branches before attempting to cut at its base.

Once you get all of the main tree branches removed, you can then move on to the base. It's very important to make sure you survey the condition itself to determine the lean off before making any cuts. Once you have determined the lean of the tree, you need to asses if the lean is going to work in your favor with the surrounding structures and landscape.

Your main cuts at the base should be in the direction you want it to fall. Your first cut should come from the top at a thirty degree angle down and toward the middle. Your next cut will come perpendicular to the body and meet your first cut. This should create a triangle shaped wedge and once removed, the tree should fall.
